Excerpt from The Large Larch Sawfly (Nematus Erichsonii): With an Account of Its Parasites, Other Natural Enemies and Means of Control It has been found in several isolated localities in England and Wales and specimens were sent to me in 1908 from Dumfrieshire in Scotland, but the depredations of the insect are most serious in the Lake District, where over trees had died by 1909 by repeated defoliation. A detailed account of this infestation has already been given by macdougall and myself More recently the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries have given an account of the distribution, from which it appears that the area of infestation is spreading, which I also found to be the case during a recent visit to England (j an.

Excerpt from The Large Larch Saw-Fly (Nematus Erichsoni) The females begin to deposit their eggs almost immediately after emerging from the cocoons, especially if the weather is warm and sunny as they reproduce parthenogenetically there is no necessity for them to await fertilisation by the male. The eggs are deposited on the stems of the fresh green terminal shoots in small slits made by the saw-like appendages of the ovipositor. The slits are made along the shimts'with the result that the green terminal shoot is killed by the numerous wounds and curls round in a characteristic m'anner (fig. The presence of these brown and curled dead terminal shoots is often a means of detecting the presence of the larvae when they do not occur in sutiicient numbers to indicate their presence by much defoliation of the twigs. The eggs appear to be deposited chiefly on the lower branches of. The trees, as I found. That on the trees which were only moderately attacked the larva: were most numerous on the shoots of the lower branches and these usually showed signs of defoliation bei't re the branches nearer the top of the tree. The beginning of the attack on the lower branches is probably explained by the. Fact which has already been mentioned, namely, that the females begin. To lay almost im mediately after emergence they would naturally on emerging from the cocoons lying beneath the turf, &e., fly on to the lower branches first.
